Weird ActiveSync Problem

[Matt Keys]

Ok, so I just got back my @migo from repairs(dropped it) today. I already had the drivers and everything installed, so I set up a connection on activesync and it synced fine and I transfered files with the "explore" button like normal. The weird part comes in now, whenever it try to install a peice of software it starts off normal, but when it actually opens the device manager and goes to install, it doesnt, instead it brings up that list you see when you go to Tools>Add remove programs in active sync. I have tried many different installers, and:<br><br>-uninstalling/reinstalling my USB drivers<br>-Disabling my firewall<br>-Deleting all the Activesync connections and make a new one<br><br>Franly I am running out of ideas, short of reformating;)

That happens when you try to install software compiled for a different processor. Are you sure what you are installing is made for your ppc?<br><br>James

well I have tried quite a few applications which I had previously installed. Ill check again..<br><br>Boy if thats it Im gonna smack myself:)

[Matt Keys]

Nope, thats not it. It also might be worth mentioning that I can install anything that is already in the add/remove programs list.

Bummer. When I was tweaking with X-Setup I messed with Active Sync, and from then on I couldn't install anything more. I fixed it by deleteing AS 3.1 and 3.5 and reistalling everything again. After that all is normal, and now I can even sync all the times I want without having to reboot the PC like I had to.

Well looks like I am about to remove and reinstall activesync, I'll let you know how it works out.

[Matt Keys]

Well I did alot of things, one of them fixed it, here is the list:<br><br>Uninstall activesync<br>Delete drivers<br>Use a new USB cable(I have two)<br>Restart<br>Change device ID on PocketPC<br>Install according to manuals<br>*poof* it works.<br><br>I am still having a few problems.. I cant get Slurp or Tennis Active to install, I am positive they are the Arm builds. Not sure whats up there..

[Village_Ideot]

Maybe its "install according to manuals"<br><br>just a guess though, thats all
